From Daniel Kirk, the bestselling author of the Library Mouse series, comes The Thing About Spring, a charming picture book about the changing seasons.Mouse, Bird, Bear, and Rabbit are friends. Though Mouse, Bird, and Bear love winter, theyre all excited that spring is finally here. But not Rabbit. He thinks that spring can only spell trouble: He wont be able to make snow bunnies, the days are too long, and it rains all the time. Rabbits list goes on and on.But his friends can always counter his complaints with something good that spring brings: warm days, lots of good food, blooming flowers-until Rabbit admits that spring is full of pleasant surprises.The book includes punch-out finger puppets that will add value to this sweet eight-by-eight paperback.In a pleasing nod to young readers enjoyment, the text makes good use of repetition and pattern . . . [t]he animals are appealing in their appearances and in their obvious devotion to one another-even to the Eeyore-like Rabbit. -Kirkus Reviews
